Geraldo Rivera Half Naked on Twitter – Do You Stay in Shape? [POLL]

In the words of New Jersey resident and one time Senate hopeful, Geraldo Rivera, ‘70 is the new 50’ . That’s what he posted on his Twitter account after snapping a picture of himself draped only in a towel around his junk.

And give the dude some credit. He doesn’t look bad for 70.

But then again, from what I understand, the guy eats grains, organic foods, juices vegetables, and God knows what else.

Fox News contributor Geraldo Rivera took a break from tweeting about the week's biggest news stories early Sunday morning to share a more personal tweet — a nude selfie.

"70 is the new 50," he wrote. "Erica and family are going to be so pissed… but at my age…"

Clad only in a white towel around his waist and sporting rose-colored glasses, the newsman appeared to be going for the Ron Burgundy look. The smouldering selfie has already garnered over 700 retweets.

The veteran TV pundit’s overshare was a far cry from his last couple of snapshots, which included scenes from the Trayvon Martin rally in Manhattan attended by Jay Z and Beyoncé.

So far, there’s been no explanation for his proud picture, but perhaps it’s a late celebration. Rivera turned 70 on July 4.

But it begs the larger question.

Some of us are age-defying, be it the result of hammering your body at the gym on a daily basis, clean eating, what have you.

Truth be told, I have a picture of myself (taken by someone else here in the studio) draped in a speedo that was taken 6 years ago before our infamous exhibition boxing match at the Atlantic City Hilton.

No friggin' way am I putting it out there…forget it!

But I look back at that picture and say to myself that I didn’t look bad at all!
Then again I worked my ass off to get that way.

Wish I could say the same about now.

But if Geraldo can do it and look that way at 70 despite eating kale; what are you doing to stay in shape?
